Most people dream of a new coat or the latest electronic under their tree on Christmas morning. Me? I dream of vintage! One of my amazing Christmas gifts was a vintage, metal hanging scale! My parents know me too well. I've been eyeing hanging scales ever since I saw this one on a house tour and this one at an antique show. I may be a little biased, but I think the one my parents found is the best. It's in excellent condition and will look great by a kitchen window in future awesome house. Isn't it fun to buy and receive gifts for an imaginary future house? One day...

How was your holiday? Get some goodies? Enjoy time with the family?

My posts might be sporadic this week. I'm still pretending to be on vacation (even as I sit in my gray cubicle). Plus, I'm getting ready for the new year, which hopefully means new things for Please Sir too!

amazing! i have vintage envy! i love it. i didn't receive much vintage, but i did get a $40 gift certificate to the thrift store in town. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!! $40 in a thrift store is like $200 in a regular store. even more on half price days!

What an exquisite gift.... your parents know you well! My dear Mum made me the most exquisite tea-time tablecloth and spent the last year embroidering it. My little darlings got what they asked for from Santa... their first ever computer game console (I think I did pretty well depriving them for almost 11 years of their lives!.... good/bad mother?)... Santa brought me a Wii fit to make the most of the electronic era we have entered into.... I am addicted... to Wii yoga and after 4 days... I can't move! My blogging time will have to move to 6am as I am now yoga-ing at 5am! A-M xx
